I have 3 questions related to dependencies for haskell packages: 1. I noticed that the haskell packages in [extra] and [community] now depend on a specific revision (7.0.3-2) rather than just a specific version (e.g. 7.0.3) of ghc. Is this to make sure that if there is an ABI change due to a bump in the revision then users don't end up with an unusable system?
2. There are some dependencies on other haskell packages that also require a specific revision (e.g. haskell-haskeline). This does strike me as a good idea, again to prevent inconsistent user systems. It isn't consistent though (again, e.g. haskell-haskeline, its dependency on haskell-terminfo). Is it a bug that should be reported? 3. I also noticed the dependency on 'sh' for the first time. This strikes me as something that ought to be superfluous, isn't it? /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: [email protected] jabber: [email protected] twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus Most software today is very much like an Egyptian pyramid with millions of bricks piled on top of each other, with no structural integrity, but just done by brute force and thousands of slaves. -- Alan Kay
